Doing Awesome Work with Government
GovDelivery is pleased to announce that we have joined forces with GovLoop, the premier social networking site for government, to become one company. This is an exciting development combining two visionary companies with similar missions: GovDelivery aims to provide the best possible communications platform to the public sector and GovLoop connects government to improve government.
Why are GovLoop and GovDelivery such an exciting combination?

- GovDelivery is the leading provider of digital communication solutions for government.
The company serves over 300 government agencies across all levels of government; in 2009 alone, government agencies have already sent over 1 billion messages to stakeholders using the GovDelivery platform. - GovLoop is the #1 social networking site for government Over 18,000 members and growing.
- There is a need for better collaboration across government Both organizations have done good work in fostering these connections. The GovDelivery Collaboration Network, for example, has allowed different government agencies to cross-promote their content on GovDelivery. The results have been powerful: the average government agency using the network has seen subscription rates more than double.
- Increased interest in government information
Every day 10,000 - 100,000 new people signup to receive updated information from a government entity using GovDelivery – 15-30% of the people signing up everyday work in government, the military, or as government contractors (the same groups that participate on GovLoop).
